Does anyone else consume these drinks? I was drinking them all the time, one a day at least. then my arms and feet started to tingle. I blame this on these drinks because I weened myself off them and I have not had any trouble since with my arms or legs. Has this ever happened to you?

When I still drank alcohol I used to put back some Monster and jagermeister.
Having said that I wouldn't touch them. They have a lot of bad side effects. I know of some companies that are actually considering banning there employees from drinking them on the job because the harmful effects they have on the cardiovascular system and on the ability to maintain hydration.

I use these drinks sparingly. There are times when I go without sleep for 2-3 days at a stretch. Could be some crazy road trip, or could be an experiment I wanted to run in the lab. These are the times I use energy drinks when I start feeling drowsy. They work ok, and I haven't ever had any negative effects from them - none that I could fathom at least.

But then, as I said - I use them sparingly, to prevent falling asleep and screwing up badly. Never ever tried them on a daily basis. As BTB mentioned, just too expensive for me.

And yeah, just like Big Josh, when I go with Jagermeister, I usually add in some red bull. But not being a regular drinker, even that's once in a blue moon.

Its the high amounts of sugar and caffeine (along with everything else). I go for rehab since it doesn't make me dehydrate as fast. Get some xtend, or gatorade or any other electrolyte type drink and that should help a little bit.

I'd say I average 1 x 250ml can per day but that can be as many as 4 on a bad day especially if I am driving far.

Same as the others, very partial to Jaeger and Red Bull, my poor heart and liver
